Shaun Royal knows exactly what he’s doing — and he’s doing it better than most. His new single, “Coast In Romance,” feels like a song you grew up loving even if it’s your first time hearing it. There’s something magical in how he blends vintage R&B with sleek modernity, making it impossible not to press replay.
The production pays homage to the soft grooves and sensual pacing of 90s slow jams — think Tevin Campbell meets early Usher — while Shaun’s delivery is unmistakably rooted in the present. His voice is polished but lived-in, offering a warm authenticity that makes the romance he’s singing about feel real, not just aspirational.
There’s also a cinematic flair to “Coast In Romance.” Each verse feels like a scene — candlelit, personal, and intentionally slow. The music video mirrors this vibe with dusky lighting, clean aesthetics, and a soft-focus view of love in motion. It’s not about flexing or flashiness. It’s about a feeling.
This isn’t a nostalgia act — Shaun is building something new with bricks from the past. He’s part of a growing movement of artists reminding us that emotion and vulnerability never go out of style.
With a performance resume that includes the Soul Train Awards and Taste of Soul Festival, Shaun Royal is no longer a hidden gem—”Coast” In Romance” proves he’s a leading voice in the new wave of soul-driven R&B.
